More Information
Summary:Described herein is an apparatus for transporting and reorienting an object on a base surface includes a first header coupled to a first side of the object, and a second header coupled to a second side of the object. The object is between the first and second headers. Each of the first and second headers includes a first flat surface that is contactable with the base surface for supporting the object in a first orientation, a second flat surface that is contactable with the base surface for supporting the object in a second orientation, and a curved surface that couples the first and second flat surfaces. The curved surface is contactable with the base surface as the object transitions between the first and second orientations. A radius of curvature of the curved surface is based on a position of a center of gravity of the object.
